Injury Update: Smith to return

Another name confirmed in the Carlisle friendly today is Alan Smith, who is set to try and boost his fitness before being turfed off to Everton, Middlesbrough or where ever. The striker is set to appear in the match following his booing earlier in the season, just after the Goodison Park rumours started. Smith's wages of £60k a week are believed to be a bug-bear for the club, with the former Leeds and Man Utd player still not having scored (at least on the pitch...) wearing black and white.
